Can we build on Mars?

[busker]

Can we build on Mars,
make it our home
once the seas rise

as when the Gorgonopsian roamed - 

with remembering eyes
look up at the dome 
protecting our biome
from micro meteorites?

There are far too many ways for the world to end.
Climate change is kindest. We can pretend
everything’s, normal, everybody lies,
until the bulk of humanity dies
and they dig up the bones of damned generations
before. Pat Boone will have a surprise in store,
or at least his corpse. The fields of Pars,
condensate rich, or Ghawar, will seal our doom -
sea levels rise, refugees swarm, nukes go boom boom.

And so we must build on Mars
a little room.
